DSG jerky&clunking.

[kippers007]

Hello all.
I have a skoda with 6speed dsg box,it has intermittent clunking problem.

Its still under warranty but 2 different franchise dealers could not find any fault as its intermittent, fault occurs in 1 faulty gear change during 4 hours of driving.

The fault is when taking up drive,the gearbox sometimes forgets to engage a gear for a few seconds then all the power is violently slammed into drive,This registers on the dashcam as an impact.

Sadly no error lights are lit.

I would like a dsg expert company to test the car (not do any physical work) and give me a written report,which I am willing to pay for.Then I have some ammo for my next franchise dealer meeting.
I am happy to leave the car with an independent company until they discover the fault for as long as it takes,

so can anyone recommend a dsg expert in Surrey or a 100 mile radius.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the replies,i have contacted skoda uk who told me if a dealer cannot find a fault they cannot make a repair,after explaning that the fault (again) is intermittent and needs to be driven for an hour or 65 miles for the fault to develop and the dealer will not this.

so I would like to know of an independent Dsg expert/specialist,to get a written report,although the dealer will not entertain a report from an independent,it will be used in a claim.

I intend to sell the car at year 3 and selling it with a fault will leave me at a loss.So I intend to claim the loss back via court.

Thanks again for the replies.

Thanks for taking time to reply.
i have been offered a very decent trade in price 3k more than webuyany car even with the fault.

So sorry to say the car will be on the market soon,buyer beware.

Now Purchased a superb v6 3.6 3 year old, excellent car,better than i thought it would be after reading reviews.

An ex cop car,fsh inc new auto gearbox 12k miles ago,also has 4 brand new wheels and tyres,bargin i thought.

Dealer threw in a years warranty (AA) iT'S rather nippy.

Its a dsg its going to go wrong, just keeping it for a year,that will be 34-36k miles. Then it will have paid for it self.

The dealer had the car for 4 months and there was no buying interest and he was using it for his own use.

Its a lot of car and excellent for my work,it drinks petrol but that comes off my income tax. When buying the car the dealer mentioned it came from the police but he has changed the registration number so it don't look like a cop car.

Only problem is that someone has stolen the skoda umbrella that's housed in the rear passenger door.
